HOW MANY 6″x6″x1/2″ TILES CAN I MAKE WITH AN 80 LB. BAG OF PREMIX CONCRETE?
To find the yield from an 80 lb. bag of premix concrete for this, or any other size mold, use the following formula: Length X width X depth of mold. In this example of a 6″x6″x1/2″ tile mold, (6 x 6 = 36 X .5) = 18 cubic inches. Divide the cubic inches into 1,036.8 (Cubic inch yield in an 80 lb. bag of premix). That will yield 57.6 tiles that are 6″x6″x1/2″ from each bag of premix. To take that further… you can divide that number of tiles by four to get the square foot area covered per bag. Since there are four 6″x6″ tiles per square foot, your square foot coverage yield per bag at 1/2″ thick would be 14.4 square feet. If you are pouring stone that is 1″ thick, it would yield you just over 7 square feet of area, depending on the spacing. HOW WILL MANUFACTURED STONE AND CONCRETE TILE HOLD UP OUTSIDE IN VERY COLD CLIMATES? The proprietary mix formula includes air-entrainment agents to help prevent product breakdown under freeze-thaw conditions like those found in northern climates. The
